[Open]

Who: Rey and HuxArmitage
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: For S.S. Bloodsport.
When: Monday evening.

Hold on. [The small voice is somewhat muted at first while a communicator is being turned this way and that.] I think we’ll be able to reach others with this -

[With the communicator finally facing the right way, the image of a small girl comes into focus. Her hair is in the same style she will wear when she is older and much of her clothing is similar too.]

Isn’t your name Armitage? Can I call you Armi?

That’s not my name though… [Another voice, this one also younger and uncertain can be heard then and when the communicator shifts there is a 5 year old with sharp blue eyes and orange hair. He’s wearing a fitted uniform of an Imperial officer though the only insignia is an armband around one arm bearing the symbol of the Galactic Empire. He still has some dust on his clothes, a small cut on one cheek but his expression is determined.] I just need to find the Commandant and the fleet before they leave.

Someone will know. [Rey has the simple trust of a child, though recently her trust has been badly shaken. Being left on a remote desert planet will do that to you. However she is three or so years older than her companion and she feels the need to take charge and soothe his worries.]

If anyone can hear, we’re looking for the...Commandant? I’m also looking for Jakku. [Though she really, really doesn’t want to go back there. But her family might come back and look for her.

She takes a deep breath.]
I need to go back to Jakku, but I like it better here. Armi has been really nice and I don't see very many kids in the desert.

[The nickname is sticking and there is obviously a growing affection for the small boy.]

[Armitage backed up at the appearance of another stranger, scowling. This man didn't seem like an Imperial officer and he knew better than to trust just anyone.]

Who are you? And I'm lost, not missing.

Being lost by default means you're missing. And if you're looking out for him, who's looking out for you?

[He narrowed his eyes, he didn't like this person. He doubted they were from the Empire.]

We can look after ourselves.

Yes, your families not being here is what is primarily concerning! You are literally in the middle of space, and--how did you even get on this ship??

Look, I don't have to to argue with you two. Let's put this in perspective; I don't doubt you can look after your friend, but if something did happen to you, what then?

He left me behind and won't come back now. [His voice got quiet as he stayed close to Rey.]

Are you from the Empire then? [He was scared that someone from the Republic had found them or if they had been somehow captured.]

. . . [Well that hits a bit close to home.]

Empire? I wish. I'm just from a small office in the suburbs of LA. I'm stuck on this ship just like you two. . .mostly because I don't want to try ship jumping.
